Gurugram district rejects NBCC appeal for Green View Society razing

The Gurugram district administration has refused to grant National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) permission to demolish its Green View Society project in Sector 37D. The decision comes after structural audits by IIT-Roorkee and the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) declared the buildings unsafe. On June 25, NBCC requested authorisation to demolish seven towers in the condominium. However, flat owners from the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) opposed the demolition due to unresolved compensation issues and took their grievances to the Delhi High Court. Residents were previously instructed to vacate their flats by the end of March 2022. The administration's denial follows protests from EWS allottees and the on-going court case regarding compensation. During a recent Samadhan camp, EWS flat owners raised concerns about the lack of resolution on their compensation claims and highlighted the active court proceedings. The District Town Planning Enforcement (DTPE) has informed NBCC that the final high court order must be adhered to and has requested the deputy commissioner to guide the district revenue officer in registering the EWS flats and facilitating their claims with NBCC. NBCC will now need to secure permission from the High Court and comply with its directives. In a letter dated June 25 to Deputy Commissioner Nishant Yadav, the developer emphasised the urgent safety risks posed by the structural issues. The letter referenced a February 17, 2022, order by the District Magistrate and the District Disaster Management Authority, which highlighted the significant threats to life and property. In March, following an order from the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, NBCC began procedures for compensating and renting flats to owners. Those choosing reconstruction were offered rent at Rs 15 per sq ft, while those opting for compensation were offered a refund of the total amount paid plus 9% interest and an additional ?10 lakh as exemplary damages. Despite these offers, many allottees have yet to accept the terms. (ET)
